in thread Data::Diver polluting $!

Here is another, docs lead me to believe these should all work but Dive doesn't

#!/usr/bin/perl -- use strict; use warnings; use Data::Diver qw/ Dive DiveRef DiveDie /; sub say { print @_, "\n"; } say DiveDie( DiveRef( { qw/ key val / }, \'key' ) ); say DiveDie( Dive( { qw/ key val / }, \'key' ) ); __END__ SCALAR(0x3f90cc) Key not present in hash using SCALAR(0xabe37c) on HASH(0x3f90dc) (from + Data::Diver).

Problem is in sub Dive, when you're testing if $ref is a hash with eval, you forgot the 1, this line
-        } elsif(  eval { exists $ref->{$key} }  ) {
+        } elsif(  eval { exists $ref->{$key}; 1 }  ) {

I've tested it it works , your test suite doesn't test for this so maybe add to Data-Diver-1.0101/t/base.t the following

ok( 'val', Dive( { qw/ key val / }, \'key' ) ); ok( 'val', Dive( { qw/ key val / }, 'key' ) ); ok( 'val', DiveVal( { qw/ key val / }, \'key' ) ); ok( 'val', DiveVal( { qw/ key val / }, 'key' ) );

Also remember the Replacment for Data::Diver due missing license

For the honor
